"At Twelve is Sally Mann's revealing collective portrait of twelve-year-old girls on the verge of adulthood. To be young and female in America is a time of tremendous excitement and social possibilities; it is a trying time as well caught between childhood and adulthood when the difference is not entirely understood. As Ann Beattie writes in her perceptive introduction "These girls still exist in an innocent world in which a pose is only a pose–what adults make of that pose may be the issue." The consequences of this misunderstanding can be real: destitution abuse unwanted pregnancy. Mann does not deny this reality but records it both in the faces of her subjects and in written stories that accompany thirteen of the portraits adding another dimension to our understanding of "Childhood. The young women in Mann's unflinching large-format photographs however are not victims. They return the viewer's gaze with a disturbing equanimity." Publisher.
